I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on the side
And you can hear it in my acent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York
See me walking down Fith Avenue
A walking cane here ate my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
If, "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Modesty, propriety can lead to noteriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night the candle's brighter than the sun
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run
If, "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Stings has said about Englishman in New York:
I wrote `Englishman in New York' for a friend of mine who moved from London
to New York in his early seventies to a small rented appartment in the
Bowery at the time of his life when most people have settled down forever.
He once told me over dinner that he looked forward to receiving his
naturalization papers so that he could commit a crime and not be deported.
"What kind of Crime?" I asked anxiously. "Oh, something glamourous, non-
violent, with a dash of style", he replied. "Crime is so rarely glamourous
these days."
Sting is obviously refering to Quentin Crisp..
